Chapter 132

the line.Ever since that day, this similar violent feeling would always get the better of him whenever the company encountered any rage-inducing matters.I didn’t run into anything that was infuriating today, so why am I feeling it again?Xavier could tell something was amiss, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.After leaving the Fairchild residence in haste, Xavier immediately contacted Josiah.He described his situation to Josiah, and he was suggested to meet him in the hospital immediately.Without further delay, Xavier quickly went for a blood test in the hospital.Yet, the result was completely normal. Josiah did not find anything abnormal in Xavier’s blood sample.“Could it be that your lack of rest caused this because you’ve been too busy?” Josiah asked tentatively.“Maybe. I’ll get a thorough check-up later when I’m free. Then again, I think I’m feeling it again when you said you found nothing. I can’t control myself.”With Xavier’s brows scrunching together, he massaged his temples. “What about the hospital’s equipment? Are they faulty in any way? Or you mixed up my blood sample with someone else’s?”Josiah widened his eyes. “Are you joking? Are you questioning my professionalism? Question me again, and I’ll skin you with my scalpel.”Xavier, however, did not bat an eye. Instead, he jokingly threw a punch at Josiah. On the other hand, Josiah cooperatively wobbled backward and asked solemnly, “Oh. Did you see the news about the Garland Group? Dumbo is really outstanding to be able to get her hands on the Garland Group in such a short time. Hamish was sent to the hospital not long ago. He was retching out blood, and I only learned that this was the doing of Dumbo after some time. I later ran into Dumbo in the hospital the next morning. Just as I thought she was there to visit Hamish, I learned that she was actually there for the password to the safety deposit box. I even had a few words with her, but to be honest, she’s not as cute as when she was acting all innocent and silly. It feels like she’s a completely different person. But then again…”Josiah narrowed his eyes as he recalled what he saw that day. “She seems to be much more stunning than before. Back then, when she was still putting up all those acts, she was just someone with a breathtaking appearance but hollow on the inside. Now, she’s entirely different. She’s emitting a dazzling presence from the core. I don’t know if you’ve seen her like that, but I can only say that she was impressive in every way.”Once Josiah’s words fell, Xavier started breathing heavily. He restlessly pulled his tie, and under the attack of the frustration he felt, the words coming out of his mouth were filled with resentment, “Josiah! That is my wife! How dare you bear indecent thoughts toward her!”Josiah immediately noticed something was amiss, for he saw Xavier’s eyes turned scarily red.“What is wrong with you?” Josiah’s brows furrowed, and his tone was serious. “Are you feeling anxious again? Is it the same symptoms as before? Don’t worry! I swear that I don’t have any feelings for Winnie! I was just talking to you about her like how a normal person would! Take a deep breath and calm yourself down!”At this moment, Xavier, too, noticed something was wrong with his emotions. He screwed his eyes shut and started taking deep breaths before downing an entire bottle of water and washing his face with cold water. With that, he finally managed to calm himself down.“Something is wrong with you.” Josiah picked up the phone and gave the neurology department a call. “Tell Mr. Grant to keep himself available and wait for me. I’m taking an important patient to him right now.”After he hung up the call, Josiah turned toward Xavier. “I need to draw some blood and get you checked again!”Xavier nodded weakly in return.At the same time, an undetectable program on his phone was secretly running.It was Yulissa. She was monitoring Xavier’s phone.Through the program, she switched on the microphone features in Xavier’s phone and overheard their conversation loud and clear.After hearing their conversation, Yulissa couldn’t help but laugh at Josiah’s futile efforts.Her grandfather had spent years in developing the drug.It was a new type of venom, and it was beyond Josiah’s capabilities. There was simply no way that he could detect it in a short period.Even if he managed to detect it, it was useless because even her grandfather did not have the antidote for it!It seems like Xavier already had a taste of the venom. But
